STEEL—THE MODERN WINDOW 
MATERIAL 


Steel Windows have for years been associated with the costlier: types of residences, 
offices, and monumental buildings. Their freedom from swelling, shrinking and warping, 
their permanency, and their superior strength, make them the logical windows for all fine 
buildings. 

In the same way, the industrial types of steel sash have become recognized as the 
modern thing for large factories. 


But until the present time it has rarely been possible to use steel windows in the 
average home, school or office. And the purchase of steel sash for garages, shops and 
small factories, except near the sash maker’s distributing centers, has been attended with 
so many inconveniences that the average owner has accepted wood to save time and trouble. 


Yet the advantages of solid, durable, close-fitting steel windows are every whit as great 
in the home of Mr. Average Citizen as they are in a millionaire’s villa. And no bakery 
or blacksmith shop is too small to derive benefit from the fresh air and light that low- 
priced steel sash afford. 


While the demand for steel windows has grown, the diminishing supply of timber has 
made wood windows steadily more costly, and is tending toward the use of inferior woods. 
Hence there results an active interest today in steel windows for buildings of all types. 


Realizing this fact, David Lupton’s Sons Company has developed the novel and beautiful 
steel windows shown in the first chapter, for apartment houses and residences of medium 
cost. These windows, like the more costly Lupton windows, are made of solid rolled steel 
bars of special sections; and they have all the permanency, freedom from rattle, and clean- 
cut appearance that distinguish the finest Lupton product. They are made in types to 
suit every room from attic to basement. ‘The ease with which they may be cleaned, and 
the privacy feature of Lupton Projected Windows, in at top for bedrooms, are special 
advantages not shared by ordinary windows of whatever material made. ‘Their price, 
including erection, compares favorably with that of good wood windows. 


What Lupton Projected Windows, out or in at side, or in at top, are to apartments and 
residences, Lupton Projected Sash, in at top or out at bottom, is to schools, hospitals 
and offices. We consider it the most appropriate window ever offered for all-around 
school use; and we feel that our success in bringing its cost within reach of the average 
school is a distinct service to the community. 


Lupton Pivoted Sash has for years been known as the leader of its type for large 
industrial plants; but until recently it has not been readily available to the small user at 
a distance from the factory or sales branches. ‘Today, however, it may be purchased 
through sales offices and agents in approximately seventy cities, as well as from a rapidly 
growing list of dealers in building materials. Warehouse stocks are located at the Lupton

branches indicated on page 2: they include all most-used sizes in projected (including 
projected basement) windows, out or in at side or in at top, Projected Sash, in at top or 
out at bottom, for schools, and Pivoted Sash for industrial buildings; also Pond Con- 
tinuous Sash and Operating Device for roofs. 


Economy of Steel Sash 


It is not always realized that a given area of factory wall costs no more if filled with 
Lupton Pivoted Sash and glass than if filled with brick or concrete, or with well-made 
wood sash. Yet such is the fact. And the well-lighted, well-ventilated building is an 
investment in efficiency, whereas the other represents merely money sunk. 


Besides the greater light admitted as compared with wood, steel sash does not swell, 
shrink, warp or stick, and the narrow steel surfaces require less paint. Steel lends itself 
much better to large glass areas; and in case of fire it does not add to the flames. Its 
maintenance costs far less. From first to last it is a profit-earning investment. 


Easy to Erect 


All types of sash here shown (except Lupton Counterbalanced Sash and Pond Continuous 
Sash) have either a flanged or a channel-shaped frame. Standard methods of attaching 
these frames have been worked out for all kinds of walls, and details are shown. It is not 
necessary to be a steel sash expert if our instructions are carefully followed. 


Sash for Fire Hazards 


Lupton Projected (out at bottom), Pivoted, and Counterbalanced Sash can be ordered 
of the factory with Underwriters’ Label attached. Sash for small orders can be altered 
at our warehouses to meet the Underwriters’ requirements, but this costs more than at 
the factory. Underwriters’ Labels cannot be attached after sash have been shipped. 


If Underwriters’ Labels are not required, but some degree of fire protection is desired, 
14 inch wire glass can be furnished.

Lupton Projected Windows 


(Out or In at Side) 


For centuries, European casements have 
been recognized as the highest type of artistry 
in residence windows. The slender, purpose- 
ful lines of the steel casement are in striking 
contrast to the typical American double hung 
wood window, with its clumsy frame and un- 
sightly meeting rails. 


However, the cost of true casements is 
prohibitive for home owners of average means. 
Architects have therefore, against their will, 
been compelled to use the wood window, and 
to balance its unavoidable conspicuousness by 
emphasizing the architectural features of the 
roof, porch, etc. Hence it has followed that the 
wood windows have frequently dominated the 
architectural scheme, instead of being sub- 
ordinate to it. 


The difficulty of making low-priced case- 
ments is chiefly mechanical. The true case- 
ment is held open by an adjusting bar attached 
to it at the sill. Since the preferred move- 
ment for casements in residences is outward, 
it follows that, in a wind, the open sash is 
subjected to a racking strain, which requires 
welded joints and very substantial construc- 
tion to resist. These features add largely to 
the cost. The heavy steel bars and heavy hard- 
ware of a high-grade casement window are its 
most characteristic features. 


Such was the situation until Lupton Projected 
Windows, out or in at side, were introduced. In 
these windows, the problem of obtaining wind 
resistance at moderate cost is solved ina manner 
both ingenious and simple. Instead of the sash 


LUPTON STEEL WINDOWS FOR APARTMENTS AND RESIDENCES 


being hinged, what is 
known as the Lupton 
“projected” movement 
is employed. «1 his 
movement was first 
applied by us to steel 
windows in Igl1l. 
Those early windows 
were constructed to 
open either inward at 
the top edge or out- 
ward at the bottom 
edge, according to de- 
sign. The other edge 
was guided by the sash 
frame, and the move- 
ment was controlled by 
a pair of radius arms 
attached to the frame 
and sash. On pages 16- 


17, windows having this movement are shown. 


The guided edge was controlled by a pair of 
friction shoes, bearing against the side frames. 
These shoes were backed by springs exerting 
pressure sufficient to hold the windows in any 
position. This pressure could be varied by an 
adjusting screw acting on each spring. 


In Lupton Projected Windows, out at side, 
the “‘projected’” movement is employed with 
no change in principle. The free side of the 
sash swings out, and the guided edge moves 
laterally a few inches from the jamb. The 
radius arms and friction shoes are located 
at top and bottom. If specially ordered, the 
windows are made to swing inward instead 
of outward, though that is seldom desired for 
residences. 


As the sash is steadied equally at top and 
bottom by the radius arms, it is free from the 
tendency to rack and twist, which would occur 
if sill adjusters were used. Hence durability 
and weather tightness can be fully preserved 
with a construction embodying light steel bars 
and simple hardware. 


Lupton Projected 
Windows, out or in at 
side, offer the following 
marked advantages 
over ordinary wood 
windows: 


1) Dheyearesm uch 
cleaner of line and 
generally better 
looking. 


2. Chey lendethem- 
selves better to 
architectural design 
of the house. 


3: They never warp, 
swell, shrink, or 


Lupton Projected Windows, out at side, two lights wide, paired rot. 
with steel mullion. A very effective appearance is gained by 
grouping these windows in pairs, threes, or fours. 


4. They never rattle. 


5. As they are alike in wet weather and dry, 
the fit may be much closer than is practic- 
able with wood windows. As the fit is per- 
manent, no weather stripping is required. 


6. Both sides of the sash can be washed from 


the inside of the room. This will be apparent 
from the above illustration. There is a clear 
space of about § inches between the jamb and 
the guided end of the sash, when the window 
is open, through which the outer surface of 
the glass can be reached. 


Lupton Projected Windows, out at side, 
are made in certain standard sizes, which 
conform to the commonest requirements for 
residence windows. ‘These sizes are carried in 
stock in our principal warehouses; hence im- 
mediate shipment can be made. By manu- 
facturing in quantities, we can produce them 
at a much lower cost than would be possible if 
every order were specially made. Our cus- 


tomers are urged to use these wherever possible. 


Where the ceiling height or the architec- 
tural treatment does not permit standard sizes 
to be used, we will make special sizes at a

Standard sizes are 
made with both oper- 
ated and stationary

used principally in sun 
parlors, conservatory 
wings, and similar 
enclosures. 

For the principal rooms of the house, sash 
four lights high are used. The operated por- 
tion is three lights high and is combined with 
a stationary transom to give clearance for 
awnings. Sash may be used singly or in pairs 
or groups. The combination of two narrow 
sash in a single unit, with steel mullion between 
them, is very popular. For floors above the

first it has the special 
merit of safety. 


By using left and 
right opening sash one 
can always deflect a side 
wind into the room. In 
case of rain, it is usually 
possible to have one 
window open without 
rain entering, since the 
outward opening sash 
will deflect it. 


For kitchens, pantries 
and bathrooms, with 
high sills, sash two or 
three lights high are 
furnished. The latter 
have a stationary tran- 
som at the top, making 
the operated portion 
two lights high. These 
low windows are suit- 
able also for top floors.

Details 


The sash members are of the form shown in 
the cross sectional drawings. All are especially 
rolled for our own use. The intersection of the 
muntins is a flush interlocked joint of unusual 
strength and a cleancut appearance especially 
attractive in residences. The molded edges 
are inside, and glazing is done from the outside. 


The frame members are of special channel 
section, as shown. The sash make a double con- 
tact on closing, and the enclosed air space helps

latch. Sash 3 lights high 
have two latches: one, the regular latch, is 
placed 12 inches above the sill; the other is a 
small upper catch, separately operated, for 
winter use only, when it is desired to lock the 
windows tight against a gale. Except under 
these conditions, the upper catch is not 
necessary. 


Sash used in pairs are bolted to steel mullion 
bars by the erector, using elastic cement and 
wood filler strips to make a tight joint. This 
is done before erection. Where three or more 
units are used together it is sometimes best 
to assemble them in their permanent position 
to avoid racking. 


We furnish sash either with or without glass. 
If glass is ordered locally, care must be taken 
to allow for the reduced sizes of the lights in 
operated sash. These lights are reduced 1 inch 
in width or height at edges adjoining edges of 
the sash: see diagram on page I.

All glass must be not less in thickness than 
double thick American. Stationary lights are 9

Lights are held each by two spring wire 
glazing clips. The sash is first carefully bed- 
puttied; then the glass and clips are inserted; 
then back putty is applied and beveled Baek 

Sash are given one shop coat of rust-resist- 
ing paint before shipment. They should re- 
ceive at least two color coats after erection.

LUPTON STEEL WINDOWS FOR APARTMENTS AND RESIDENCES 


Lupton Projected Windows 
(In at Top) 


The need has long existed for a window for 
bedrooms and bathrooms which face opposite 
windows across a light court or outside passage. 
It is impossible to open ordinary windows for 
ventilation without loss of privacy, if the 
shades are up, or without interference with 
ventilation and flapping 
of the shades, if the 
latter are drawn. 

This need—which is 
found not only in apart- 
ment houses and hotels 
but in all detached and 
semi-detached resi- 
dences built on narrow 
lots—is at last met in 
Lupton Projected Win- 
dows, in at top, for resi- 
dences. And these win- 
dows not only possess 
the special merit of 
combining privacy with 
ample ventilation, but 
afford also at moderate 
cost every advantage of 
solid steel construction 
that is contained in

ie) 


As the sash can be opened a number of 
inches before the bottom edges move upward 
materially, or the top edges move past the 
jamb, ventilation for almost any condition 
can be obtained without loss of privacy. 

Each sash has its individual shade attached 
at the bottom and draw- 
ing up. Sash curtains 
may be attached, if de- 
sired. By using trans- 
lucent glass, sash cur- 
tains for the upper 
lights may be omitted. 

The standard arrange- 
ment is to divide the 
upper sash into six lights, 
using Lupton muntins 
with flush joints. The 
molded edges are inside. 
The lower sash has a 
single light. 

Both upper and lower 
sash can be reversed for 
washing from the in- 
terior, as the illustra- 
tions show. This makes 
it unnecessary to sit on 
the window sill or to 
use ladders outside. 

As the movement is entirely inward, per- 
manent or semi-permanent stationary fly 
screens may be attached outside, directly to 
the sash frame, with a clearance, if desired, of 
of an inch between the screens and

All Lupton Projected Windows, in at top or 
out or in at side, are furnished complete with 
brackets and cord locking pulleys for shades. 
They are punched also for the attachment of 
standard sash curtain rods; and brackets for 
curtain rods will be furnished as an extra if 
specified in order and bid.

Erection Details 


On the next page are shown typical details of 
Lupton Projected Windows, out at side and in at 
top, and Standard Basement Windows, in different 
types of walls. Dimensions are taken in each case 
to measuring lines indicating the clear size of 
opening. 

Lupton Projected Windows, out or in at side, or 
in at top, may be set either before or after the walls 
are built. If set after the walls are built, proceed 
as for Lupton Pivoted Sash: see pages 33 to 34. 
Otherwise set in walls with side flanges entering the 
brick joints in jambs. 

The sill members of Lupton Projected Windows, 
out or in at side, or in at top, must never be covered 
externally by masonry or stucco. They must be 


exposed as the details show, to prevent water from 
becoming pocketed in contact with the steel and 
causing corrosion. 

Windows may be grouted or calked with elastic 
cement. Wood filler strips may be used to reduce 
the quantity of elastic cement required. 

See page 15 for procedure at head when multiple 
units of Lupton Projected Windows, out or in 
at side, are used in combination with steel 
mullions. 

The opening height of Lupton Projected Win- 
dows, in at top, is the same as that of the full-sized 
standard Projected Windows, out or in at side. 
Hence both types line up perfectly when used in 
the same elevation.

All units can be furnished either operated or stationary. All units 


open out unless specially ordered to open in. 


Lupton Projected Windows, out or in at side, are placed before the 
walls are built. Steel anchors are placed in brick joints about every 16 
inches, as shown in. the perspective sketch at the right. See pages 13-14 
for details at head, sill and jamb appropriate to different wall materials. 


Windows are to be either grouted or calked with elastic cement. Wood 
filler strips may be used to reduce the quantity of elastic cement required. 


Units used in pairs or threes are to be bolted together by the builder 
before placing them in walls, using bolts which we furnish. Elastic 
cement must always be used. See horizontal cross section on this page. 


Ends of mullions are flush with sash at top and bottom. Multiple 
units require to be anchored at the head. A typical detail is shown on 
this page. A steel channel and angle are riveted together, with washers 
between them to make a % inch space. The anchors are bent pieces of 
flat steel, slipped into the space. Anchors should be spaced about 16 
inches apart.

LUPTON PROJECTED SASH 


(In at Top or Out at Bottom) 


Lupton Projected Sash, in at top or out at 
bottom, is peculiarly fitted to the requirements 
of the average school building. Despite its 
low cost—which compares favorably with that 
of well-made wood windows—it has all the 
basic advantages which have made solid steel 
windows preferred to wood for high-class busi- 
ness buildings. It is well-made and _ close- 
fitting: it is easily opened and closed: it cannot 
shrink, swell, warp or rot: it never needs 
weather stripping or refitting: and it cannot 
burn. 


The “projected” movement by which these 
windows are characterized was originated in 
solid steel sash by this company in tgt1. Lup- 
ton Projected Sash, in at top or out at bottom, 
was first used for offices and hospitals, but by 
placing it on a quantity-production basis we 
have reduced its cost to a point that makes it 
practical for schools. Its adaptability as 
regards weather protection and deflection of 
drafts is remarkable; and we believe it to be 
the most satisfactory all-around window made 
for both hospitals and schools. 


Both ventilators are hung on radius rods at 
the sides, the proportions being such that they 
are practically balanced. One edge (top or 
bottom) swings open, while the other is guided 
and steadied by friction shoes sliding in the 
sash frame. 

An exclusive feature is the adjustable pres- 
sure exerted by the friction shoes, which hold 
the ventilators steady at any angle without 
fasteners. 


Two Types of Ventilators 
One 


swings outward at the bottom and is guided at 
the top. The other swings zmward at the top 
and is guided at the bottom. 


The ventilators are of two types. 


In either case, 
the ventilator is projected entirely inside or 
outside the vertical plane of the sash. If 
desired, outward-swinging ventilators at top 
and inward-swinging ventilators at bottom 


may be specified for the same window. Both 
types are alike in price. 


This complete freedom of choice, in use 
of either type of ventilator or both, permits 
the architect to plan solely for the best result. 
For example, in southern schools, where maxi- 
mum fresh air is the objective, both top and 
bottom ventilators may be arranged to open 


16 


LUPTON PROJECTED SASH (IN AT TOP OR OUT AT BOTTOM) 


outward, thereby acting as shelters over the 
openings. If desired, the entire glass area may 
be given to ventilators. 


In more northern latitudes, however, the 
usual choice will be to make all ventilators 
open in at the top. This is always best for 
hospitals, where it permits permanent exterior 
screening to be used, and where the fact that 
no lights are stationary requires uniform treat- 
ment for appearance.

Details 
Details of construction are shown in the 
illustrations. The ventilators make a double 
contact all around when closed, and are care-

frame members, and are backed by compres- 
sion springs and adjusting screws. Thus each 
ventilator can be separately adjusted accord- 
ing to its size and weight, so that it will hold 
securely when open, yet without unnecessary 
friction. This may be done not only by the 
erector, but by the user at any time, using an 
ordinary screw-driver and small wrench. 

Each ventilator may be swung over, so 
that both sides of the glass may be cleaned 
from the inside of the building. 

All ventilators have corners solidly oxy- 
acetylene welded, thus securing freedom from 
internal corrosion, plus the rigidity of a one 
piece framework. 

Ventilators opening out at the bottom may 
be equipped with a special cam latch or a spring 
catch and chain. 


Standard and Special Sizes 

Standard sizes are shown in the diagram on 
page 18, and should be followed if possible. 
Prices are alike whether ventilators open in or 
out. Special sizes cost more and take longer to 
deliver. 

In large factories using Lupton Pivoted Sash, 
it is desirable to have Lupton Projected Sash, 
in at top or out at bottom, in the office portion, 
using special sizes to match the pivoted sash. 

On specification, we will furnish Lupton 
Projected Sash, out at bottom only, with 
Underwriters’ Labels. Sizes, glass limits, and 
glazing angles must follow the rules noted 
under Lupton Pivoted Sash, page 36. 


Painting, Erection and Glazing 
All Lupton Projected Sash, in at top or out 
at bottom, are given a thorough shop coat of 
paint before shipment. They should receive 


at least two field coats after erection. 


LUPTON PROJECTED SASH (IN AT TOP OR OUT AT BOTTOM) 


Erection and glazing follow the same rules 
as for Lupton Pivoted Sash. Brick and con- 
crete walls require grooves in the jambs, and 
concrete lintels require a similar groove. Brick 
openings taking only one sash unit per open- 
ing must be made with a reveal in the jambs, 
or one jamb must be left unfinished until 
sash are inserted. 


Steel Windows for Schools 

It is illogical but true, that buildings repre- 
senting otherwise the last word in safe and 
durable construction should even today be 
equipped in most cases with wood windows. 
The reason for it is that, while steel windows 
have for years been successfully used in offices 
and industrial buildings, types designed for 
schools are of very recent origin. The high 
price of office steel windows has limited their 
use in schools. On the other hand, factory 
types of steel sash do not lend themselves well 


to architectural treatment or to the use of 
shades and screens; and they cannot readily 
be adjusted to small degrees of opening, such 
as classrooms require in winter. 


All these objections are overcome by Lupton 
Projected Sash, in at top or out at bottom, 
and—where sliding windows are desired—by 
Lupton Counterbalanced Sash with zinc 
weathering. By using either, a more durable 
window is secured, impervious to moisture; 
permanently free from warping, looseness and 
rattle, and free from the necessity of periodic 
weather stripping to keep it tight. In case of 
fire, steel windows retard or prevent the spread 
of flames from floor to floor. Having narrower 
surfaces, steel windows admit more light than 
wood and require less paint. Finally, the first 
cost of Lupton Projected Sash, in at top or out 
at bottom, is little if any higher than that of 
high-class wood windows.

LUPTON 
COUNTERBALANCED SASH 


(Patented) 


Lupton Counterbalanced Sash is widely used 
both in schools and offices and in high grade 
industrial buildings, where wide floor areas 
demand more than usual ventilation. It is 
much more massive than ordinary types of 
steel sash; yet its simplicity permits the manu- 
facturing cost to be low. Its appearance is 
dignified and expressive of its strength. 

The characteristic feature of Lupton Coun- 
terbalanced Sash is its balanced top and bot- 
tom ventilation. The upper and lower sash of 
each unit are hung over a single set of pulleys, 
hence they open and close simultaneously. 

This design makes it certain that the upper 
sash will be opened as much as the lower sash. 
Few persons trouble to open the upper sash of 
ordinary windows unless suffering actual dis- 


comfort; hence the upper air of most rooms is 
stale. Lupton Counterbalanced Sash insures 
that all the air in a room shall be fresh. By 
opening several windows in an office or school- 
room a few inches each, and by using wind 
shields, the air can be kept fresh without drafts. 

The heavy construction of Lupton Counter- 
balanced Sash permits the use of muntins to be 
minimized, thereby giving a sense of space and 
freedom, together with minimum obstruction 
to light. The best appearance is obtained with 
two vertical muntins. Horizontal muntins are 
preferably omitted, except where necessary to 
use Underwriters’ labels. 

The ratio of glass and ventilating areas to 
total opening area is exceptional; this is due 
in part to the narrow steel mullions. 


LUPTON ‘COUN TERBALAN CED 


SASH 


Construction 


The sash members are rolled steel, of the 
channel sections shown on page 26. They are 
solidly oxy-acetylene welded at the corners, 
making a permanently rigid assembly free 
from danger of hidden corrosion. The muntin 
ends are riveted. 

Double contacts are made at head, sill and 
jamb, the enclosed air space aiding materially 
to retard air leakage. The meeting rails are of 
I-piece construction, making a close contact 
without weather strips. 

The frame is built up of solid rolled steel 
members and is assembled by heavy bolted 
angles. The same section is used for both 
jambs and mullions; and the narrow mullions, 
with their minimum obstruction to air and 
light, are a characteristic feature of this sash. 

The sill is especially noteworthy, being 
designed to present the least possible surface to 
corrosion. It is well known that paint deteri- 
orates faster on the horizontal surface of ordi- 
nary sills than on any other part of the window. 
In Lupton sills, the horizontal surface is no 
wider than necessary, and is completely cov- 
ered when the window is closed. For still 
further protection, the Lupton sill is made of 
copper-bearing steel, whose superior resistance 
to corrosion is well known. 

Aside from other advantages of Lupton 
counterbalanced sash, this feature of minimum 
sill deterioration means a marked saving in 
depreciation. 

For offices and schools sheet zinc weathering 
should be used in jambs and mullions: see the 
detail on this page. It is an extra and must be 
specified if required. 


Fittings and Extras 
Standard hardware includes malleable iron 
lift handles for all windows, also malleable 
cam locks for basement and first floor. Locks 
are furnished above the first floor only when 
specified in the order and bid. 
Wind shields should be used in offices and 


24 


schools. They are made of substantial pressed 
steel plate, shaped to drain outside, and permit 
easy removal of the glass lights. They are an 
extra, and must be specified in order and bid 
if wanted. 

Any standard shade brackets may be used. 
We recommend, however, the special malle- 
able iron brackets shown on page 27, as they 
permit free passage of air above the shades. 
We will furnish them as an extra when ordered: 
they are 12 inches long and are set Io inches

Erection, Glass and Glazing 

Lupton Counterbalanced Sash are shipped 
unassembled. It is best to have our mechanics 
erect them, but we will furnish complete 
erection instructions on request. 

One-quarter-inch glass should be used with 
Lupton Counterbalanced Sash. We will fur- 
nish glass if ordered; or it may be purchased 
locally. 

Glazing is done from the inside. The glass 
should be carefully bed-puttied, and putty 
applied also inside and beveled. Lupton wire 
glazing clips are furnished with the sash. 

Lupton Special Steel Sash Putty is recom- 
mended, as it does not harden and break 
away like ordinary putty. It must, however, 
be specified in bid and order. 

Glazing angles should be specified if desired. 
Their finished ap- 


pearance fully justifies the additional cost. 


Standard Sizes 


Lupton Counterbalanced Sash is made for 
glass of the widths and heights given below. 
Any desired combination of width and height 
may be used. For schools and offices it is best 
to use windows not exceeding 41% ft. in width.

It is now rapidly displacing wood in small factories, 
For all such uses it offers far better value than 


For schools and offices we recommend Lupton Projected Sash, in at top and out at bottom. 


See chapter on that type. 


Lupton Pivoted Sash is made in standard units, using 12 by 18 and 14 by 20 inch glass. 
These units are shown in diagram on pages 38 and 39. ‘heir dimensions are accurate, 


and units of the same size are interchangeable. 


Of these standard sizes, those most used are carried regularly in Warehouse Stock in 


both 12x 18 and 14x20 inch glass sizes. 


39. It is always desirable to use Warehouse Stock sizes where possible. 


They are indicated by shading in pages 38 and 


By combining 


units of different widths, openings of a great variety of widths may be filled. 


Where several units are used in an opening, standard T-bar steel mullions are furnished 
as specified. They require no attachment at the head, and are easily worked into the sill. 


Construction Details 


Lupton Pivoted Sash is made up entirely of 
specially rolled steel shapes. The frame and 
ventilator members are joined at the corners 
by riveted tongue and slot connections, and the 
ends of the muntins are similarly riveted. Exact 
fit of every member is guaranteed by using 
large presses and gang punches, which cut 
the ends, notches and slots simultaneously in 
one operation for all standard bars. 


This simultaneous punching applies to all 
members wherever used. It is a complete 
insurance against faults in size, also against 
faulty ventilator alignment. Since even the 
hinges of Lupton Pivoted Sash are integral 
with the weathering, a ventilator can fail to 
fit only through twisting or bending, which is 
easily corrected. 


The ventilators make a two-point contact all 
around their edges, thereby reducing air leak- 
age. The hinges are located two inches above 
center, so that the ventilator tends to close 


of itself. When erected, the location of 


the hinges shows when the sash 1s right 
end up. 

The muntin joint is characteristic of Lupton 
Sash, and is of unusual strength, while pre- 
serving good appearance. The interlock is 
made in the manner shown on page 4, and the 
effect of wind pressure is to increase the tight- 
ness of the lock. 

The stay bar is an angle member, suitably 
notched for different degrees of opening, and 
folding back against the sash when closed. 
Because of its shape, it is much stronger than a 
flat bar.

If desired, Lupton Operating Device may be

Where window cleaners’ anchors are ordered, 
those made by the National Safety Device Co., 
153 N. La Salle St., Chicago, will be furnished, 
unless others are specified. 

The mullions are of T-bar section. See 


page 40. Iwo sizes are used, of similar

width, but different depth of stem, according 
to the size of the sash to be used. They are 
bolted to the sash with the flanges outside, 
and with stems projecting either inward or 
outward, according to the size of the sash. See 
table on page 41. The upper ends of the mul- 
lions stop flush with the masonry, but the lower 
ends always enter the sill, as described in the 
instructions for Building the Walls and Erect- 
ing the Sash, pages 33 and 34. 


Hardware, etc., Furnished With Sash 


At the option of the purchaser, ventilators 
are provided with stay bars, or with spring 
catches and chains. The price for sill length 
chains is the same as for stay bars. Unless 
otherwise specified, we furnish stay bars for all 
ventilators, except the upper one of a pair, and 
spring catches and chains for upper ventilators. 
It is safest, however, to specify the operators 
desired. For windows with high sills, we fur- 
nish a special chain clip, No. EL-2365, to be 
fastened to the wall over the sill. Other hard- 
ware includes glazing clips and standard wall 
ties. Maullions and mullion bolts are included 
when specified. We do not furnish expansion 
bolts. 


Glass should be not less than 1 inch or 
double thick American. One-quarter inch 
glass may be used, if preferred. Glass may be 
ordered of us with the sash, or purchased 
locally, as preferred. If purchased locally, be

in accordance with the diagram on page 4I.

It is essential that the following points be 
clearly and completely covered. Before you 
send your order, the quantities should be 
checked to see that they are correct and 
the description compared with the list below, to 
see that it is complete.

chains only for ventilators whose bottom edges are 
more than 6 feet above the floor. If for any reason 
stay bars are wanted on high windows, or chain 
catches on low windows, that fact must be noted 
in the order. 


8. Kind of wall fastenings required. 
This depends on the construction of 


the walls—whether brick, concrete, stone 
or steel; also on the method of attach- 
ing sash. It is necessary to give attach- 
ments in detail. To do this, refer to 
pages 41 to 44, and specify by the 
numbers in circles the details at head, 
jambs and sill which will be used. 


No wall fastenings are required at head and 
jambs in concrete, or at jambs in brick (except 
for detail No. 70). No. EL-435 standard clips for 
angle lintels (see half tone, page 35), and No. EL- 
1739 standard anchor ties for sills (see details 17 and 
If clips 
are required for jambs also, they should be speci-

fied in the inquiry and order. Bolts and washers 


are furnished with mullions. 


Symbols Used When Ordering Sash 


{nitial letter shows glass size: A, 10 x 16 
in. Bb, 12 x Lean C ix oo in Dono? AN: 

First numeral—number of lights wide. 

Second numeral—number of lights high. 

Third numeral—number of ventilators. 

Fourth numeral—number of lights per 
ventilator. 

Fifth numeral (after dash)—number of 
stationary lights high between bottom of 
sash and bottom of ventilator. 

Sixth numeral (after second dash)—num- 
ber of stationary lights high between lower 
and upper ventilator. 

Examples: C56 means a unit taking 
14 x 20 inch glass, 5 lights wide, 6 lights high, 
stationary. (C4518-1 is a sash taking 14 x 20 


inch glass, 4 lights wide, 5 lights high, having 
one 8-light ventilator, one light above bottom 
of sash. Cs626-1-1 is a sash § lights wide, 
6 lights high, having two 6-light ventilators; 
the lower ventilator one light above the 
bottom of sash, and the upper, one light above 
lower. 


Indicate the number of sash units in each 
wall opening, by writing such number before 
the sash symbol. For example, 2 openings 
3/B4618-1 means that for each of two open- 
ings three units are required of the sash 
symbol given. Consequently two mullion 
bars are needed for each opening. Sometimes 
units of different widths, or having different 
ventilators, are used to fill an opening. For 


example, 2/C36; 2/Cs5616-1; 1/C4618-3. 


Designing the Walls 


The details on pages 41 to 44 show the com- 
monly used methods of arranging wall open- 
ings to receive Lupton Standard Pivoted Sash. 
Opening sizes are identical with the nominal 
sash sizes. Where several sash units occur in 
an opening, two inches are added for the width 


of each standard T-bar mullion. 


32 


Standard mullions do not attach to the 
head or lintel. Their stems extend into brick 
or concrete sills 2 inches below the measuring 
line of the sash. Recesses must be provided 
in the sills to receive the mullions, if the sills 
are set before the sash are erected. 

Standard mullions are always attached with 


OP RONE PIVOTED SASH 


the flanges of the T-bars outside of the sash 
frame members. In brick and concrete walls, 
the stems may project either inside or out- 
side, according to the wind pressure they 
are required to sustain. (See page 41.) In 


steel framing the stem must always project 


outside. 


Sash are secured by bolts, clips or grout. 
The frame members are punched at the sides 
for mullion bolts, and at the sills for wall 
anchors. Standard clips and wall anchors 


(page 35), should be used where possible. 


If but one unit of sash is used in an opening 
in a brick or concrete wall, special provision 


is necessary to insert the sash. See under 


“Building the Walls,” below. 


With all kinds of steel sash, it is essential 
that the structural steel lintels or other sup- 
porting members shall carry their load without 
deflecting upon the sash, as that would cause 
the ventilators to bind. 


A special case arises in brick and concrete 
walls where sash have full-width upper and 
lower ventilators connected by double arms. To 
give clearance for the arms, the jambs must 
have a reveal (details 70 and 8, pages 42-43), 
or a special jamb plate (detail 26). Otherwise it 
is necessary for the end units of sash to have 
stationary lights adjoining the jambs. 


Building the Walls 


Steel sash are built to support glass and to 
withstand wind pressure after they are properly 
placed in the walls. They are not built to 
endure miscellaneous rough handling, or to 


hold bricks and lintels in place. 


We recommend that walls be built before sash 
are set. This applies to all types of construc- 
tion, except sometimes in brick walls where but 
one sash unit per opening is used. See under 


“Brick Walls,” below. 


Brick Walls: Standard practice is shown in 
details 9, 14 and 31, page 42. Brick sills and 
poured-in-place concrete sills should not be set 
till sash are erected. Jambs of multiple open- 
ings should have a vertical groove 3% inch wide, 
1% inches deep, raked out of the mortar by the 
mason, when laying the brick joint. 


Openings taking but one sash unit must 
have one jamb left unfinished until the sash 
are set. Alternative constructions are to 
make each jamb with a reveal (See detail 70), 
or to chip the bricks in each jamb so that 
one side of the sash can be inserted and the 
other side swung into place. (See detail 
11.) If detail 11 is used, it is necessary to 


33 


at head or sill, 
to avoid interference with the sash when the 
latter is inserted. This can be done by making 
a low sill, and filling with grout under sash. 


provide extra clearance 


The lintels may be structural steel members, 
with a continuous plate, angle, or 3g inch 
groove for attaching sash. (See details 80, 
page 41, and g.) 

Where pre-cast, terra cotta or cut stone sills 
are used, the lintel must allow sash to clear 
sill before being placed in final position. (See 
detail 80, page 41.) Mullion stems must enter 
recesses or joints in sill. 


Concrete Walls: Grooves not less than 
11% inches wide, 2 inches deep, are moulded 
in jambs and lintel. (See page 43.) 


When but one sash unit is used in an open- 
ing, grooves in the lintel and one jamb must 
be larger as required to insert the sash; or 
the jambs must be made with a reveal. (See 


detail 8.) 


Poured-in-place sills are recommended. If 
pre-cast or cut stone sills are used, the groove 
at head must be deep enough to allow sash 
to be lifted clear of sill before being set. 


LDiWP:T ON PIV LE Des Asin 


If upper and lower ventilators, the full 
width of sash, are to be connected by double 
arms, the jambs must be made with a reveal 
as mentioned under “Brick Walls” above, or 
equipped with jamb plates as shown in detail 
26, page 42. 

Steel Framing: Sash may be attached at 
the head by steel clips or straps to any struc- 
pee: details 73 and .3o,

page 42. 


Sash may be attached to the jamb by bolts, 
clips or straps in the same way as at the head. 
They are bolted to the mullions. 

At the sill, the sash overlaps an angle or other 
structural member, and is attached usually by 
straps, like detail 73 turned upside down. 

T-bar mullions used with steel framing must 
always be set outside the sash with the stems 
projecting out. 

Wood Walls: The standard angle frame 
member, Section 308, may be attached to 
wood walls in a great variety of ways. Speci- 
men details are given on page 44. It is essen- 
tial that the lintels shall carry their load with- 
out deflection against the sash. 


Erecting and Glazing the Sash 


Note: Hinges are above center of ventilators. 
Their position should be noted when placing 
sash. 

Brick Walls: The end sash units in each 
opening are first set with the flanges of frame 
members, Section 308, in the jamb grooves; 
then the remaining units with their mullions 
are set and loosely bolted; after which they are 
leveled and wedged against the jambs and head. 
The mullion bolts and the bolts or clips at the 
lintel are then tightened, and the jamb grooves 
and sill are grouted by the brick mason. Mul- 
lions are set with flanges outside of sash. 

If sills are left unfinished till sash are in 
place, the sash must be supported on wood 
blocks and wedges, which are set under corners 
of sash only, in order not to distort the sash. 

The head and jambs should be grouted after 
the sill has been finished. 

Single units in openings are treated accord- 
ing to the provision made to receive them: 
see under “Building the Walls,” above. 

Concrete Walls: 
as for brick walls, the grooves in concrete 


Same general procedure 


being grouted after sash are wedged. If there 
is but one unit per opening, it must be inserted 
in the larger jamb groove first. 

Steel Framing: The sash are attached by 
bolts, straps, or standard clips No. EL-435. 


34 


They are first loosely bolted and lined up by 
wedges, after which the bolts are tightened. 

The mullions must be set with the stems 
turned outside, and the flanges outside the 
sash. See horizontal section, page 40. 

Wood Framing: Use same general proce- 
dure as for steel framing, except that screws 
are used instead of clips. 

After Erection: Wires holding ventilators 
shut are removed and spring catches or stay 
bars attached. 

Glazing: Sash are glazed after erection: 
the work is done from the inside. The lights 
are held by the wire glazing clips shown on 
the next page, four being furnished for each 
light. They are sprung by hand into holes 
in the muntins and frame, and their elasticity 
permits the glass to expand without breakage. 

Glass should be carefully back puttied, and 
putty should also be applied inside and beveled. 

Special putty for steel sash should be used, 
as ordinary putty dries out and breaks away. 

When ordering glass it is important to note 
that border lights in ventilators are smaller 
than the other lights.

Lupton Underwriters’ Pivoted Sash 


Important: Underwriters’ Sash are furnished 
only when specified in bid and mentioned in 
contract. 


Wherever wire glass is used for fire protec- 
tion it is advisable to specify Underwriters’ 
Sash and have the Underwriters’ Label. This 
insures that the full measure of safety intended 
is actually secured. 


Lupton Warehouse Stock and Standard Sash 
of prescribed sizes may be converted into 
Underwriters’ Sash by the addition of glazing 
angles and the special hardware illustrated on 
this page. 

As all the members are standard, orders for 
Lupton Underwriters’ Sash can be filled from 
bars in factory stock, subject only to the 
delay for adding the hardware. This is the 
most economical way to buy Underwriters’ 
Sash. Such orders can usually be filled within 
one week from receipt of complete information, 
but it is well to allow more time if possible. 


Where immediate delivery is essential, Ware- 
house Stock Sash can be altered at our Phila- 
delphia, Cleveland and Chicago warehouses, at 
a slight extra cost, to receive the special glazing 
angles and hardware before shipment. Sash 
cannot be altered to receive Underwriters’ Label 
after shipment. 


Sash to receive Underwriters’ Labels must 
be equipped with the special expansion clip 
and ¥% by 34 inch glazing angles shown in the 
illustrations: the glazing angles are used in 
addition to putty. Sash units must not exceed 
7X 12 ft. in size, and 14 inch wire glass must 
be used. Chains used with spring catches must 
contain fusible links. Catches must be located 
at bottom of ventilators. With the approval 
of the local inspection board, stay bars may be 


used instead of spring catches and fusible links. 
Mullions must be the larger standard size, with 
2% inch stems. No. EL-1739 or other wall 
ties not less than 4 inches long are required 
at brick and concrete sills in all cases.

Lupton Operating Device 


Lupton Operating Device is designed to 
operate small groups of pivoted ventilators 
(not more than 12 of average size by one oper- 
ator). It is moderate in cost, strong, simple 
to operate, and easy to erect. It works by 
torsion, and we consider it equal to any device 
of its kind for the service indicated. It 1s 
equally as valuable for pivoted wood venti- 
lators as for steel ventilators, and it may 
readily be applied in existing buildings. 

‘ite 


Device consists of a cast iron worm, segment 


mechanism of Lupton Operating 
gear, torsion tube, lever arms, and sash rods 
acting on the ventilators. The worm and seg- 
ment are not machined or encased. Suitable 
brackets are furnished for attachment to wood, 
brick or steel supports. The operating power 


may be located so that the worm shaft is 


horizontal and turned by a hand chain, or 
vertical and turned by a hand wheel or pole 
We will furnish handwheels 


and pole hooks on order. 


hook from below. 


To secure satisfactory service from Lupton 
Operating Device, the torsion tube should not 
extend over 40 feet on either or both sides of 
the operating power, and should not operate 
more than 6 ventilators of ordinary size in 
each 4o feet. Where upper and lower venti- 
lators are operated in pairs, the torsion tube 
should not extend over 20 feet on either or 
both sides of the operating power, and should 
not operate more than 3 pairs of ventilators 
in each 20 feet. 


When ordering, the following information 
must be clearly given. A free hand sketch or 
scale drawing is desirable:

POND CONTINUOUS SASH 


(Patented and Patents Pending by Clarke P. Pond) 


Pond Continuous Sash—the original steel continuous sash—was first made in 1909. 


First intended for sawtooth roofs, it is today used by both large and small concerns for all 


kinds of industrial buildings, where roof lighting or abundant, uniformly-diffused ventila- 


tion is required. It is easily opened or closed, and is weather-tight when open in all 


ordinary storms. 


It is most valuable in the roofs and side walls of heat-producing buildings, such as 


foundries, forge shops, dye works, laundries, etc. By using Pond Continuous Sash in 


a roof of proper design, it is possible even in forge shops to work with comfort in summer 


weather. 


Pond Continuous Sash is almost equally 
valuable in the roofs of buildings where abun- 
dant light is required. Such buildings are 
machine shops, garages, textile mills, and 
industrial buildings of many kinds. It in- 
volves less glass breakage than any other form 
of skylight, because, being hung from the top 
and having flexible joints, it is relatively free 
from strains. 


In old buildings, remodeled by cutting open- 
ings in their roofs, and by replacing obsolete 
wood sash in roofs and monitors with steel; in 
buildings whose light and air have-been cut off 
by later additions, and which therefore need 
roof openings; and in light courts which must 
be covered, one or two stories high, with 
ventilating skylight to gain floor space — for 
all these Pond Continuous Sash has a unique 


value. 


In large buildings Pond Continuous Sash 
is valuable for giving uniformly-distributed 
air movement. In such buildings, with 
ordinary windows, it is impossible in cold 
weather to avoid spotty distribution of air, 
with drafts at some points and stale air at 
others. By using Pond Continuous Sash not 
only in the roof, but in the side walls also, a 
uniform air flow of the desired rapidity may be 
secured over the entire length and width of the 
building, with practical elimination of cold- 
producing local drafts.

FON DUECONTENUOUS 


SASH 


What It Is 


Pond Continuous Sash is in effect a trans- 
parent shed over a ventilating opening. It is 
made in 20-foot sections, which are joined by 
flexible weather-proof expansion caps into long 
unbroken “runs,” which may extend from 100 
feet for the largest size to 300 for the smallest, 
or even longer, depending on the slope of the 
sash and the method of control. These “runs” 
are hung from the top, outside of structural

work, under a continuous overhanging angle 
bar, which prevents rain from entering at the 
head. 
stationary storm panels, which prevent rain 
from entering in a diagonal wind. Hence the 
sash may remain open under all ordinary 
weather conditions. 


The ends of each run overlap 2-foot 


Each run is opened or 
closed as a unit by pulling a hand chain, 
running over a pulley. 


Pond Continuous Sash may be used in both 
vertical and sloping surfaces. For sawtooth 
roofs a 30-degree slope is recommended. For 
heat producing buildings of all sizes, and for 
wide buildings of any kind, the best form of 
roof is the Pond Truss, illustrated on page 62. 


A special application is the Pond A-frame, 
illustrated on page 60. This is a framework 
of A-shaped cross section, hung with one or 
more lines of Pond Continuous Sash on each 
side. Either or both sides may be opened, 
according to the wind. The Pond A-frame is 
cheaper than a sawtooth roof and equal or 
superior for ventilation. It is very useful 
to give central lighting, plus a ventilating 
outlet, in the roofs of buildings of moderate 


width. 


Mechanical Details 


Each 20-foot section of Pond Continuous 
Sash is put together entirely by oxy-acetylene 
welding: hence it is a single unit, with the 
permanent rigidity and freedom from internal 
corrosion that oxy-acetylene welding implies. 
Even the expansion covers are integral with 
the sections, in order to reduce by one-half the 
air leakage which loose covers would entail. 
This welded construction costs more than bolts 
or riveting, but it is the only way to get a 
thoroughly dependable result. 


The bottom rail of Pond Continuous Sash is 
of patented shape, giving maximum rigidity 
without unnecessary weight. As the two 
flanges are opposite each other, torsion and 


P.O N-D? uC O Nee ENW-OUes 


SASH 


glass breakage from the thrust of the sash 
rods—which act against the inner flange—are 
avoided. The outside flange contains drip 
holes at intervals, which prevent water from 
being pocketed and causing corrosion when 


the sash is open. 


Pond Operating Device 


Pond Continuous Sash is controlled by the 
Pond Operating Device. This is a highly- 
efficient mechanism of great flexibility and low 
friction. It transmits power, not by torsion, 
but by the tension of two parallel rods con- 
nected at their ends by chains working over a 
sprocket wheel and idler pulley. From these 
rods, motion is communicated to the sash 
through compound levers and thrust rods. 
The arrangement is such that the thrust against 
the sash increases as the sash opens. The 
torsion rod sprocket is actuated by a cut steel 
worm and gear running in grease in a dust- 
proof case, and operated by a hand chain. The 
worm runs in ball bearings, the gear in phos- 
phor bronze. The bearings of the compound 
levers also are phosphor bronze. 


Standard Sizes of Sections 


Pond Continuous Sash is made in four sizes, 
respectively 3, 4, § and 6 ft. high. The clear 
height of opening between head and sill angles 
is 114 inches less than the height of the sash, 
1. €., 2.ft. 1034 1n:, etc. 


Sections are 20 ft. long, except where shorter 
sections are needed to fill out the ends of runs. 
Sections 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 ft. long are 
carried constantly in warehouse stock, to- 
gether with Pond Operating Device and the 
necessary fittings for erection according to our 
standard details. 


Structural Supports Required 


The sash are hung from continuous steel girt 
angles, not less than 3 by 3 inches, attached to 
the trusses and intermediate structural up- 


rights which also carry the brackets for the 
operating device. A similar angle forms the 
sill. Where two lines of sash are set one above 
another, an intermediate angle acts as a sill for 
the upper line and a head for the lower line. 
These angles are furnished by the steel 


contractor. 


The trusses and intermediates supporting 
sash girts and the brackets for the operating 
device may be spaced from 8 to 12 ft. apart.

For most conditions, a truss spacing of 20 ft. 
center to center, with one intermediate up- 
right, is most economical and satisfactory. The 
intermediate may be an angle, channel, or 
other member. 

Care must be used to line up the faces of 
trusses and intermediates accurately for attach- 
ing the girt angles. 

All girts and other structural work are to be 
furnished by the steel contractor. We do not 
furnish structural work.

Storm and End Panels 


Each storm panel is built in one piece with a 
stationary end panel, which extends 2 feet 
beyond the end of the sash. The worm gear 
power and idler pulley are attached to the 


trusses behind these end panels. 


For short lengths in walls and small A- 
frames the stationary storm and end panels 
may be omitted. 


Dimensions of Openings 
Sash runs, including end panels where these 
are used, are always even feet in length (never 
odd feet). Opening lengths are 3 inches greater 
than the length of sash plus end panels. This 
gives a clearance of 11% inches at each end of a 
run between the stationary end panel and the 


end of the opening. 
a 


Opening heights are 1% inches less than the 


sash height, as already mentioned. 


Flashings 
Clearances between stationary end panels 
and ends of openings are covered by flashing. 


Where the roof formation does not otherwise 
cover the head angle from which the sash are 
hung, a line of flashing should be carried from 
the roof over the face of the head angle and up 
under it, as shown in the detail on page 61. 
This prevents moisture from entering above 
the head angle and corroding it. 


All intermediate and sill girt angles, also all 
head angles not otherwise covered, must be 
flashed at the joints to prevent leakage. 


All flashings are to be furnished by the sheet 
metal contractor. We do not furnish flashings. 


Clearances 


The clearances shown in the drawings on 
pages $9 and 61 must be strictly maintained. 
The truss lattices must be so designed as not to 
interfere with the operating device within the 
clearance lines shown. Clearances at the head 
must be kept free of bolt heads and other 


obstructions which might interfere with sash or 
hinges. When the structure is designed as our 
drawings show, a satisfactory result is certain; 
but we will not be responsible for results where 
our instructions are not followed. 


Glass, Glazing and Putty 


Pond Continuous Sash in roofs should be 
glazed with 14 inch vertically-ribbed wire 
glass, the ribs being placed on the side least 
exposed to dust. 

For side walls, vertically-ribbed glass is 
usually best, but rough or hammered glass or 
clear glass, plain or wire, may be used: 1%4- 
inch thickness is best. 

Standard glass heights are three inches 
less than the standard or overall heights of 
the sash. See table below:

NG OSHON INEM, oc usaccaouconswe 69” 


Standard lights are 23 and 24 inches wide, 
these widths being combined as needed to 
make the desired length of sash. 

In ordering glass for replacement, the width 
and height of each light must be specified. 

In ordering ew sash, only the nominal 
length of the units need be specified. 

We will furnish the sash with or without 
glass, as desired. Customers will be furnished 
a diagram showing location and number each 
of lights 23 and 24 inches wide. 

The glass is bedded in putty and held by 
galvanized glazing wedges furnished with the 
sash. Itis not back puttied: the putty is struck 
off flush with the outer face of the glass. 

It is essential that Pond Continuous Sash 
be glazed with the special “PCS” putty which 
we furnish. Ordinary putty hardens and cracks 
away, causing leaks. 

“PCS” putty has the necessary flexibility 
to accommodate expansion and contraction, 
also the slight flexure of the sash, without 
breaking bond. This feature is important 
where Pond Continuous sash is used in the 
roofs over costly materials or equipment. 


Service to Customers 


We will gladly furnish information and 
sketches to customers who find the details on 


wat

their needs. State the type, size, and general 
construction of building you have in mind, and 
if possible, send sketches showing floor plan,

Pond Continuous Sash is often applied to 
old monitors, or to new and enlarged monitors 
on old buildings: and Pond A-frames are 
often applied to existing roofs.

Hinge Punching in Girt Angles 


Holes to receive bolts for hinges are 7” 


diameter, and are punched by steel contractor 
on a gauge line 114” up from the toe of the girt 
angle to which the sash are hinged. See 
sketch in upper left corner of Group C diagram 


below. 


Pond Continuous Sash are manufactured so 
that the first hinge hole is two feet from the 
right-hand end of the line of sash, facing the 
outside of the building. The succeeding holes 
are spaced on 4’ o” centers. 

The diagrams “A,” “B,” and “C” show the 
spacing of these holes for girts of different 


lengths: the chain lines indicate centers of 
punchings.

Pond A-frame for Small Buildings 


Pond A-frames afford the cheapest and most 
effective way of supplying light and ventilation 
in the roofs of garages, blacksmith shops, laundries, 
dye houses, etc., where it is necessary to get rid of 
heat and vapors. They are also valuable for 
machine shops and a great variety of other uses 
where abundant light is needed, yet a closed sky- 
light would cause discomfort. 


PLATE HOOD 


For maximum ventilation, the width of the A- 
frame should bear a certain relation to its height, 
as indicated above. We can furnish the plate hood 
if desired.

LUPTON 
ROLLED STEEL SKYLIGHT 


(Patented by Joah Brogden) 


Lupton Rolled Steel Skylight is especially 
suited to meet conditions of unusual severity, 
such as vibration, wide range of temperatures 
and inaccessibility for frequent painting. Its 
patented construction avoids the use of cross 
bars and eliminates breakage of glass, due to 
expansion and contraction and_ vibration. 
Leakage, due to drying of putty, is also 
avoided. 

All parts directly exposed to weather are 
copper and brass. If desired, however, gal- 
vanized copper-bearing steel may be used for 
the cap instead of copper, at a corresponding 
price. 

The essential feature of the construction 1s 
the U-shaped rolled steel skylight bar. These 
bars are supported by purlins at spaces deter- 
mined by the length of the glass lights 
measured on the slope. No cross bars are 
used: instead, the lower edge of each light laps 
the upper edge of the next lower light three 
inches, and the bars are offset to permit this 
lap. Lights are 24 inches wide, and the bars 
are spaced 2434 inches on centers. 

The glass does not touch metal at any 
point. It is flexibly supported on the bars by 
strips of saturated water-proof fibre, and 
similar strips of fibre are interposed between 
the copper caps and the glass. The caps are 
offset to accommodate the glass laps in the 


sip

of fibre is placed sloping upward on each side 
of the bar midway of the lights. These sloping 
strands lead condensation into the bars, by 
which it is carried outside the building and 
discharged through drip holes in the copper 
curb apron. 

Lupton Rolled Steel Skylight is adapted to 


any form of roof. Sketches and complete in- 


formation will be furnished on request.

CORRUGATED WIRE GLASS 


Because of its unusual strength Corrugated Wire Glass does not require the support and 


protection of a specially constructed frame work. It is laid on steel or wood purlins in the 


same manner as corrugated iron, except that strips of asphalt paper are first applied to 


the purlins. 


Combining the qualities both of a roof covering and a skylight, Corrugated 


Wire Glass may be used as a complete roof from ridge to eaves; or it may be laid over 


openings of desired sizes in direct connection with any roofing material; or on a curb 


raised above the roof surface. 


The corrugations widely diffuse entering 
light rays and eliminate all glare. The 
glass is laid with the smooth surface on 
the weather side, and rain washing over 
the corrugations keeps it clean. As a fire 
retardant, Corrugated Wire Glass possesses 
all the qualities of wire glass in flat 
sheets. 

Corrugated Wire Glass is a full %" thick 
and weighs about five pounds per square 
foot. Standard lights are 2734" wide by 
42 and 63 long. Corrugations are 2.52 
across and 3{” deep. 

When so desired, we will furnish cover 
caps for joining lights, necessary bolts, 
washers, clips, asphalt paper strips for 
glass rests, ridge roll and other sheet metal 
accessories.

LUPTON STEEL SHELVING 


Lupton Steel Shelving incorporates fundamental qualities of design and construction 
which make its first cost on any basis of comparison always an economy, and which give 
it increasing investment value with each expansion or rearrangement of stock, periodically 
necessary, inevery growing concern. This applies to old plants now using wood shelving, 
as well as to new plants for which the most efficient storage equipment is wanted. 


Bin Type 


This type of shelving, which is most commonly used, is open only at the front. The 
front edges of the sides are formed around flat reinforcing bars of high carbon steel, 
resulting in a [-bar construction with ample strength to support 


the shelf load, and to withstand rough usage. The back edges of 
side uprights are flanged and bolted through the back upright. 


The front edge of the shelves is reinforced by being formed 
tightly around a specially rolled channel bar, whose ends are bent 
at right angles and bolted to the side uprights. At the sides and 
back the shelves are flanged downward and bolted to the uprights. 


This type is usually open for access from all four sides. The 
uprights are T-bars, hot rolled from medium carbon steel, and are

Attachments 


The various attachments for Lupton Steel Shelving permit any 
desired modification, and all are easily added or removed. They 
consist of: 


Bin Fronts—These have bottom edges flanged to slip under shelf 
and reinforce it, and top edges stiffened by a roll. They may be

Bin Dividers—These are vertical divisions occurring between shelves. They have a 
roll at front edge, and are flanged at back and bolted to shelves at top and bottom. 

Label Holders—These may be fastened either to shelves or to bin fronts. 

Counter Extensions—They give additional storage space and provide easy means of 
reaching upper shelves without using a ladder. 

Lupton Steel Shelving is attractively finished in velvet green enamel, oven baked. 
Unless otherwise specified, it is shipped knocked-down. All necessary bolts and nuts 

are provided.

facilities and who can adapt his requirements 
to three well-balanced standard units. 

Frequently the need is for small, compact 
units which will fit into some unused corner 
and provide display and storage space for the 
many small articles in constant demand. 

Unit No. 160 is of great value to the manu- 
facturer or storekeeper who uses or sells a 
variety of small parts, such as screws, bolts, 
washers, pins, etc., and Unit No. 150 provides 
ideal utility space for stationery and office 
supplies. 

Unit No. 110 is a combination of different 
size bins, which easily lends itself to the needs 
of the storekeeper or manufacturer who either 
sells or assembles small parts.

When You Build a Home 
« Start Right 


BUILD daylight into your basement, make it a 

bright, cheerful, useful part of your house. Use 
windows that will give 50% to 80% more daylight, 
that won't swell, warp or stick—that keep out the 
rain and the wind—that are completely equipped 
with heavy hinges and automatic locks. 


Just think—Truscon Steel Basement Windows 
have all these remarkable features and yet they ac- 
tually cost as little as wood. Find out about them 
from your architect, contractor or dealer. See these 
windows on the job, make any comparison. You 
simply cannot afford to build without them.

windows. In some localities they 
cost considerably less. For your own 
satisfaction fill out the items on the 
cost sheet shown above. You can 
always get the prices of Truscon 
Basement Windows from us. 


In any type of foundation, brick, 
stone or concrete, you can install the 
complete Truscon Basement Window 
as easily as the wood frame alone.

wide bearing between stone and brick 
courses. 

It is easy to screen Truscon Base-

each jamb hold the screen flush 
against the sash frame so there are no 
crevices for insects to enter. 

The sash can be easily taken out 
of the frame for glazing as the hinge 
pins are removable. When you build 
a home, start right by asking us
